DESCRIPTION:Supernovae - the explosions of stars - are one of 
 the brightest phenomena in the Universe. In my tal
 k\, based on my recent book on the subject\, I wil
 l describe how supernovae have been observed aroun
 d the world for nearly 2\,000 years and how they a
 re observed today. I will briefly describe the phy
 sics of these explosions and then showcase some of
  the many roles they play in the Universe. These i
 nclude creating black holes\, synthesizing and spr
 eading the elements that make up our bodies\, and 
 even shaping galaxies. Finally\, I will show how a
 stronomers use supernovae as experimental tools to
  study dark matter and dark energy\, two of the mo
 st mysterious phenomena in contemporary physics.
